Welcome to the Metaplastic Breast Cancer Global Alliance, Inc.

The Metaplastic Breast Cancer Global Alliance, Inc. is a nonprofit organization founded and administered by volunteers and supported by noted researchers and oncologists. The mission of this alliance is to help consolidate knowledge and support research into Metaplastic Carcinoma of the Breast.

The Metaplastic Breast Cancer Project for Stage IV Patients

Metaplastic Breast Cancer, or MpBC, was first recognized in 2000 as a distinct sub-type of breast cancer. It is generally believed to represent 1% or less of all breast cancer cases. Most of the time these breast cancers are also triple negative, which means that they are ER / PR negative and HER2 neutral, another rare diagnosis group. Due to the rarity of Metaplastic Breast Cancer, there have been few studies or clinical trials relating to study Metaplastic Breast Cancer.

Who Are We? The Metaplastic Breast Cancer Global Alliance was started by a team of women who were diagnosed with this cancer. This is a grass-roots patient organization, run by members of our community, and dedicated to improving the outcome for all women in this affected by MpBC.

Metaplastic Breast Cancer is known to be extremely rare, although new diagnostic techniques may be identifying it more frequently. Management algorithms for invasive & non-invasive ductal and lobular breast carcinomas are well-established, but rare histologic types of primary breast cancers, like MpBC, are not represented in practice guidelines & present many challenges.Learn More

Members of the Metaplastic Breast Cancer Global Alliance community have stepped up to support our global effort. If you find you need support closer to your location, please feel free to send an email to one of the representatives on our list or send us a message from our Contact Page. We are constantly building our network and hope to continue to grow.

If you have a medical oncologist, radiation oncologist or surgeon, who is familiar with metaplastic breast cancer and who you feel gave you great care, please help us connect to them! Send or bring the letter found here that requests permission to list your doctor on the Knowledgeable Doctors page of the MpBC Global Alliance website. If you would rather have us contact your doctor, please email their name and address to us at admin@mpbcalliance.org and we will contact them directly.

Help us build our list of knowledgeable doctors, so that we can help other members of our group find a doctor who has experience with MpBC. This will also allow doctors to connect with other professionals who are interested in MpBC.
